The School of Creative Wellness is a heart-centred business for women.
What we do...
Our approach is regenerative and cyclical. In tune with the natural rhythms of nature and the cycles of a woman’s life - from maiden, to mother to wise elder. We all face different challenges in life, whether it be the pressures of work or study, financial or relational challenges, body and hormonal transformations (puberty, pregnancy menopause), or dealing with mental or physical illness, or with loss and grief.
Our quest is to help women reset and manage their lives with self-care, whilst facing transformational challenges in their busy lives. The School of Creative Wellness offers practical support, unique experiences, learning, guidance, tools and signposting to help. We create unique spaces for women of all ages to come together, to move, breathe, learn, laugh, share, connect to self, to nature and to others.
We do this by providing retreats, self-care practices and wellbeing services including Breathwork, Yoga, Pop-Up Events and Creative Workshops online and in Hampshire. We offer these services to multi-generational women facing transformational challenges, stages and cycles in life. Daughters, Sisters, Mothers, Aunts, Grandmothers - all women are welcome.
Working collaboratively with individuals and businesses, we champion self-care, creativity and community with an emphasis on a deeper connection to ourselves and others in an ever increasingly disconnected world.

Our story
I’m Susanna Edwards, Director, and Founder of the School of Creative Wellness. The School was created at the end of 2022 although its’ foundations were created many years before after experiencing a couple of years of poor mental wellbeing. I was a single parent, I cared for my father throughout a long period of ill-health and at the same time, continued to work long, demanding hours as a full-time university programme leader.
During a period of introspection encouraged both by my cognitive behavioural therapist and my life coach, I realised that I had neglected many of things that had previously brought me great joy and balance. I had totally lost my sense of self.
I found letterpress whilst studying graphic design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. I discovered yoga slightly later, in my twenties whilst working in London as a graphic artist and educator in higher education. I found myself asking, could I, should I, return to these areas of my life that once brought me clarity, balance and joy?
I re-trained as a yoga teacher and began the journey of reconnecting with my body, mind, the environment and people around with me. At the same time, I rekindled my love of printing words, building a small letterpress studio at home. This process of reconnection enabled me to gain strength and clarity inside and out. I started a new stage of my journey, built on empathy, compassion, self-care, creativity and play.
As I showed up in a more joyful way with my family and friends, they would regularly ask what had changed? What was my secret?
Having explained my progress, they would then encourage me to share this journey with other people, who were at a similar crossroads in their life - women looking to bring joy and balance back into their lives.
I realised that I’d met these women time and time again…on dog walks, in coffee shops and at the school gates.
It seemed like my joy was infectious and I was bringing others with me. With this newly found confidence, I’d love to share my experiences with you through my wellness offerings. Creativity, teaching & learning are in my DNA. Through combining my past experiences and skills with yoga and breathwork I have created a unique business. Disciplines merge, ways of noticing, seeing and understanding ourselves are explored in a holistic sense, with genuine empathy, care and (com)passion.
